Abstract
The disclosed system implements techniques to identify activity in which attendees to a communication session likely have a greater interest. Prior to commencement of a communication session or during the communication session, the techniques enable a list of attendees to a communication session to be designated as a group for which detected activity has a priority with respect to being displayed. The designated list of attendees is a subset of a total number of attendees to the communication session. The system monitors streams associated with individual attendees on the list to detect an occurrence of a preset target event. The system configures a portion of a graphical user interface of the communication session to accentuate the stream that includes the occurrence of the preset target event.
